Nieuw-Vennep, March 19, 2010 --[ASDWire]-- Fokker Services recently established Remarketing Support Center has been awarded an exclusive contract to remarket two Fokker 70 aircraft, which have been operated as corporate shuttle aircraft.

Full support in introducing the aircraft into service with the new operator as well during the ensuing mature operation is ensured by Fokker Services’ FLYFokker program, which facilitates cost-effective operations for all Fokker aircraft at least through 2020.

Peter van Oostrum, Director Aircraft Remarketing Fokker Services says: ‘We are proud to have been awarded this Fokker 70 remarketing job . It’s yet another assignment for our recently established Remarketing Support Center, which will be assisting aircraft owners and managers in placing Fokker aircraft, which have come off-lease or surplus to requirements’
